      <Desc>Service to the community American Lutheran Homes, Inc. (ALH) operates as a charitable organization consistent with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). ALH provides long term care services including skilled nursing care, assisted living and basic care. ALH does not discriminate against individuals in the admissions process or in the delivery of care with regard to ability to pay for services. The assisted living facilities operated by ALH primarily serve low-income elderly residents. The Organization's cash reserves are generally applied to expansion and replacement of existing facilities and equipment, amortization of mortgages, improvement in resident care, training and education, and community benefit activities. The governing board of ALH is made up of leaders in the Fargo-Moorhead business community. Consistent with its charitable mission, ALH provides community benefit to the area served. In 2016, community benefit activities included: - Speakers' bureau services - provides free educational sessions to agencies and individuals in the community on topics such as: Bethany on the Grow Advance Directive EducationCareers in Long Term Care Early Dementia Care Activities with a Purpose The A, B, C &amp; Ds of MedicareFacing Our Later Days in FaithManaging Your Resources - Estate Planning Activity With A Purpose Volunteerism - The Rewards Of Giving Yourself - Groups to which our speaker's bureau presented information included service clubs, churches, parish nurse groups, and senior centers. - Endings and Beginnings - a support group for family members dealing with a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease - Provides virtual dementia / sensitivity training to employees and community members.

        <ExplanationTxt>American Lutheran Homes is a North Dakota nonprofit corporation located in Fargo, North Dakota and has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The organization is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, it is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to their exempt purpose. The organization has determined they are not subject to unrelated business income tax and have not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) with the IRS. American Lutheran Homes believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting the annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements. American Lutheran Homes would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Executive Committee of the board meets to determine the compensation of the President/CEO. Compensation is determined by gathering comparable data, including salary surveys, personal contacts, 990 data, and evaluating criteria such as knowledge/experience, longevity, job performance, etc. Periodically, a consultant is brought in to assist in the evaluation process to test for fairness and reasonableness of compensation levels. Consultant involvement was last implemented in 2011. The Executive Committee reviews the data and recommends the compensation package, which is reviewed and approved at the full board level. The process for determining compensation for the President/CEO is implemented on an annual basis. The President/CEO determines the CFO compensation in the same manner the Executive Committee determines compensation for the President/CEO. The President/CEO also reviews the information with the Executive Committee. The process for determining compensation for the CFO is implemented on an annual basis.</ExplanationTxt>
